By Alan Thornett rganis paigning and in the next general election manifesto we make it clear that a future Labour government will unconditionally scrap all nuclear weapon systems immediately on taking office. From now on our task is to mobilise massive public support for this policy and to emphasise that:

• abandonment of nuelear weapons will increase our security, • our policy of industrial conversion will increase secure employment.

Conference supports the CND demonstration on October 22 and emphasises that our priority - in cooperation with the TUC and CND - is to step up campaigning against the installation of Cruise missiles.
